Spring Leaped

From a its dormant stage

into full bloom.

I am dancing

among the flowers

and weeds.

I do hope spring

didn’t come too early.

King Frost is known

to be watching

from the tops of the trees.

Watching a gardener

filled with eagerness.

King Frost can sneak in

on the wings of the wind.

Then he’s gone

Leaving death among plants

and disappointed gardeners.

Gardeners are a hardy bunch

they spring back to go again

with one eye on the sky.
